I DID read.
A ton of it wasn’t worry; it was purely hate-based reasoning that the game would fail due to its host system.

What few comments that did demonstrate any “worry”, as you put it, were virtually drowned out.

I know it’s just certain titles, I didn’t want to look like im using Sony as an example really.

I just think a lot of this is just: sour grapes from fans. You should have seen the Kotaku article on death threats etc…

Some could see this as desperation from Nintendo’s perspective in gathering ‘hardcore’ support…

It will be interesting how the Atlus deal goes, i’m watching that like a hawk! 😉

They go where the money is, even if only one of their games (Metal Gear Rising) has ever made any. Nintendo were willing to pay Sega and Platinum, so they made it for the Wii U. Hopefully, in the future, there will be ports of it, but this is Sega, and they don’t have the greatest business reputation.

But even if Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 flop, which they probably will, that really wouldn’t be any different from any of Platinum’s other titles, save Metal Gear. I love Platinum Games, but then again, I also love Suda 51, and none of their stuff is going to sell. That’s just one of those sad facts of life. Of course, putting it on the Wii U means it’ll sell even less, but let’s not pretend that a multiplatform Bayonetta would do Call of Duty numbers.

As for Sony first party titles, most of them do make their forecast. It’s just stuff like Playstation All-Stars that, I think, most people saw was going to flop from the very moment they started adding in D.I.N.O. and the Big Daddy, who didn’t belong in the game. It became very transparent.

Same with Twisted Metal, which was more multiplayer-focused when the majority of Twisted Metal fans I knew always thought the story was one of the more important aspects of the series (especially after Twisted Metal Black).

And finally, God of War: Ascension, which did nothing the fanbase wanted or needed. A God of War 4 that takes place after 3 and doesn’t spend half of its promotion time on multiplayer will probably do very well.

Otherwise, stuff like Heavy Rain, Uncharted, Gran Turismo (which I still don’t understand the love for), and Last of Us tended to go above their initial forecasts.

What, and not purchase a game for a console that they had no idea would struggle?

I don’t think Nintendo thought the Wii U would struggle as much as it is, and Platinum would have been groomed by Nintendo before the Wii U’s launch.

It was a gamble, but sometimes thats just the way it is.

Either way, the game exists because Nintendo courted them. It may have had a release down the line on X1 / PS4, but that isn’t able to be proved.

We can only go on what has been presented to us.

You can look at it like that.

“this and Wonderful 101 will surely be financial failures on the WiiU.”

“There is no “getting over” the terrible platform placement of this title. It’s downright cringe worthy. Even if the WiiU was half successful, it’d still be misplaced.”

Oh nothing is wrong with the game itself.

There’s no lying in them, but I do play up certain aspects of my personality from time to time to put on a better show. They’re meant to be humorous, for the most part. It’s a very dry humor that a lot of people probably won’t get, filled with in-jokes and obscure references, but it’s my sense of humor, anyway.

You couldn’t be any further away from the truth than you already are.

Worried does not equal hate: read don’t assume.

Cry more, people. You know you’d be singing from the hilltops while still looking down on Platinum if they release this for all consoles just because they’d also make a Wii U version.
You’re not fans of the game if you’ll discard it as trash due to the system it’s on.XD

Nah i’m not that interested: pass by that channel a few times before joining VG247: not my cup of tea to be honest. For comedy i stick to TV more variety there (although the quality is dropping)

In reality, people wouldn’t be able to get through life operating like that 100% of the time. It’s an act, like wrestling.

If people really want to take him so seriously, that’s worrying. You mentioned Santa doesn’t exist the other day, nor does Furious Francis…

I view Francis as a ‘caricature’ as that’s how he portrays himself on here and on his YouTube. Other people don’t have that luxury. Apart from maybe Clup and his opinion pieces on his YouTube.

@108

Yeah, I just find it amusing you had that fat guy image in your head when you were replying all this time! 🙂

It makes a good point though, maybe we should resurect the ‘show yourself!’ Thread in the forums. I wonder if half the people I argue with look anything like I imagine. Maybe we should all post pics of ourselves again? I missed the last one as I was a newbie.

There is no style to ‘get’. It’s not complex, and it’s certainly not subtle. He even calls himself ‘Furious’ as he goes about openly antagonising others. It’s telling that you persistently overlook the glaringly obvious whilst concocting apologist excuses for such behaviour.

Well similar names and you don’t know the man behind the keyboard: and honestly it would have made sense.

No fucking way?! Hahahaha! You seriously thought it was that big fat guy?!

That’s hilarious! I’ve linked Francis O’s stuff abit at the start when people were trying to get ‘his style’. It’s completly different to the fat guy that smashes Xbox’s up. 😀

There are a lot more reasons than that, but i’m personally not bothered to go over it again.

Wed, 07 Aug 2013 20:48:44 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=395753#comment-521014@101: But whether or not it’s a good thing that Bayonetta 2 exists is a matter dependent upon how it shapes up with Nintendo’s influence over it. It could be a praiseworthy move for Nintendo continuing a great franchise, or it could be a sign that Bayonetta 2 should never have been made if it meant catering to Nintendo’s whims. We’ll see.

Wed, 07 Aug 2013 20:46:45 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=395753#comment-521013Don’t sweat it, Lengendaryboss. This discussion is littered with them. 😉

I believe you’re referring to this Francis. Francis is a satirical persona of the YouTube uploader called Boogie2988. A lot of what this Francis does is for show – the responses to his antics from those that don’t know that this is deliberate play-acting is where the real comedy is at.

Francis O is a different person. He is “Furious Francis” and belongs to a gaming website that he has self-promoted on this site more than once so I choose not to name or link to it directly. On the site’s ‘About Us’ page he is referred to as the “Owner/Editor-N-Chief”.
